Synopsys’ takeover of Ansys in spotlight as tariffs ramp up global tensions

Reuben Miller, Mergermarket’s global chief regulatory editor, based in Washington DC, joins Dealcast host Julie-Anna Needham to discuss the multi-fold impact of tariffs on dealmaking.

• China and the US are currently circling each other like fighters. Why does he see this as “a delicate dance”?
• Could Trump’s threat of tariffs on allies and competitors be a catalyst for demand for US manufacturing assets?
• Are the threats a negotiating position to gain concessions or a real statement of intent?

All this and more in this week’s Dealcast, which was recorded on Tuesday 4 February.
